[sdiy] Diodes won't make noise

Hi All

In some recent experimenting with my multi-noise source I came to the
conclusion that zener diodes are NOT a consistent source of noise sources
(that sentence sounds a little wierd). At some time in the past I have used
the specified diode and it made more noise than I ever saw before but that
seems to be the rare exception. Anyway I have updated my multi-noise source
module to use a selected 2N2712 or a selected 2N3904 in case anyone is
thinking of building it.

I also finally made boards from the artwork and they do work fine. I tweaked
a couple of resistor values too.

It is here:
